About Urad dhal vada

Urad Dhal Vada, also known as Medu Vada, is a popular South Indian snack made from urad dal (split black gram) soaked and ground into a smooth batter, then deep-fried into golden, crispy donuts. Often seasoned with spices like cumin, black pepper, and chopped curry leaves, these vadas are traditionally served with coconut chutney and sambar. Packed with protein and dietary fiber from urad dal, they provide energy and promote digestive health. However, since they are deep-fried, their fat content is relatively high, which can impact heart health if consumed in excess. Enjoyed as a breakfast item or tea-time snack, Urad Dhal Vada embodies the vibrant flavors of Indian cuisine while offering a balance of nutrients and indulgence. Moderation is key to appreciating both its taste and health benefits.
